Cuscuta (origin of name obscure). Convolvulceae. Dodder. Degenerate parasitic twiners, bearing clusters of small flowers. They are leafless annuals, with very slender yellow, white, or red stems, which become attached to the host-plant by means of root-like suckers. The seeds fall to the ground and germinate in the spring. — Species 100, widely distributed. As soon as the young shoot reaches an acceptable host, the root dies and the plant becomes parasitic. Failing to find a host, the plant dies. Dodders are common in low, weedy places. Some species are also serious pests, as the clover dodder, alfalfa dodder, and flax dodder. One of the common species (C.Gronovii, Willd.), of low grounds, is shown in Fig. 1158.
